Ginger Baker Trio: Going Back Home. Atlantic 7567-82652-2 [EU 1994] Personnel: Bill Frisell (el-g), Charlie Haden (b), Ginger Baker (dr, voc)

I am reading this so I listened to Disc Two of this.

Jerry Garcia Band "Don't Let Go" Grateful Dead Records 2 cd set, disc 1 A great band that worked together a while, this is the May 12, 1976 concert from the Orpheum, San Francisco. Jerry is playing a Travis Bean guitar here. . . .

On Monday night, Sept 1, 2025 Kenny Washington, on his Jazz Across America program on KSDS played an almost five minute recording of Bird with John Lewis, Ray Brown and Max playing "I Can't Get Started." Unlike his frequent practice he didn't identify the disc he was playing it off of, only remarking that it's a "rarity recorded at Birdland." I can't find anything on the web about this recording. Anyone know anything about it?

Agreed. I'm going to wait for clarity (which I don't expect soon) before thinking about placing an import order. One positive sign: I watch Dusty Groove's "coming soon" page, and the prices indicated there for scheduled imports don't appear to reflect (presumably tariff-related) increases.

Romain Pilon “Colorfield” Whirlwind Records cd A guitar led quartet with some cool sax work from Walter Smith III.

Jomboy: Did Framber Valdez intentionally cross up his catcher?

That's certainly great to hear, but...the last sentence in the article will continue to be an issue for a while, I suspect. "Even with the exemption, US consumers may still face challenges when purchasing from international retailers. More than 30 countries have suspended or restricted parcel shipments to the US in response to the Trump administration’s tariff rules, while some sellers remain unclear — or unaware — of the exemptions for physical media."

Dave Hamblett “Light at Night” Whirlwind cd I forgot how lovely this cd is. Forward thinking but not jagged. Nicely arranged, performed and engineered.

Wayne Shorter: Adam's Apple. Blue Note/RVG Edition 7243 5 91901 2 9 [EU 2003]

Now spinning: Dizzy Gillespie, et al - The Bop Session (Sonet, 1975)

Saw this in the theater on Monday: Good fun.

They will be on tour again soon https://www.saudades.at/de/home/8161/index.html?tournr=8161

Jerome Sabbagh - North (FSNT, 2004) with Ben Monder, Joe Martin, and Ted Poor

👍

I have the Kitano recordings, but that's it. I enjoy Rich's playing with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Band and its successors. Also with the John Fedchock New York Big Band. Just last night I listened to Rich play a very nice solo on Easy Living from this CD.

Miles Davis “Kind of Blue” Columbia reissue LP 180 gram Beautiful sounding LP.

Just released: live in Fukui, Japan 1987, two volumes. It's from the same tour as on "Live in Tokyo", recorded a week prior. The setlist overlaps with Tokyo somewhat, but not entirely. Good sound quality. https://www.discogs.com/release/34996640-Chet-Baker-Live-In-Japan-1987-Fukui-Vol-1- https://www.discogs.com/release/34996697-Chet-Baker-Live-In-Japan-1987-Fukui-Vol-2 Judging by how fast the Sendai 1986 releases disappeared (OOP in a year), this one (two) will probably be gone soon.
